It's going to be another LONG weekend....

Well, first off, my step-dad is having his left hip replaced tomorrow morning, so he'll be in the hospital at least until Sunday with that. Please pray for both him and my mom and her sanity.

Matt is leaving EARLY tomorrow morning (like 5:30ish) to head to S. Houston to meet up with a friend to then leave for Del Rio to go deer hunting for the weekend. He'll be back at some point on Sunday. So I'll have the boys with me for the weekend (thank goodness Daylon will be going to spend the night with a friend on Friday night, so that will be one less kid to take care of for the evening.) It's not like I don't enjoy spending time with the boys, it's just that by the end of the day when Matt comes home, I'm ready to relax and let him take care of them a little bit and help me out, ya know??

And then on Sunday we're having Christmas with my mother-in-law (Matt's going to have to meet us there at her house when he comes back to town). So that should be a lot of fun. I just need to get her a few things and then wrap the gifts for Sarah, Matt's little sister- who is 17 now!!!- and for Travis, Matt's step-brother who lives with Matt's mom and step-dad. Maybe Matt can watch the kids tonight so I can go and do that before he goes out of town. Sounds nice to me!! :-)

Now for a few updates:

Blayden and Kelton both had their Christmas parties at their MDO yesterday. Fun stuff! (And I'm room mom for both of them so it was a lot of running back and forth for me. Thank goodness for all of the moms that were there and did most of the work!!) So they've been at home with me and Kelton is already asking when he's going back to school. It's going to be a long break. (They go back January 8 and I can't wait! LOL) Blayden has been super fussy yesterday afternoon and today, so I'm not sure what's up with him. No fever or anything, just gripey.

Jace and Daylon are both having a super busy but fun week at school. Tuesday was Kindergarten movie day so Jace got to take a pillow to school and they watched "Polar Express" in the cafeteria. Can't beat that! And today was pajama day for both of them. Apparently, Jace got made fun of because he wore his Ratattoili (sp?) pj's. Poor kid (I did warn him though.) Still, it's always fun and different to go to school in your pajama's, right?? And then tomorrow is their sing-a-long. I'm going to try to make it to that with Kelton and Blayden. We'll see.... and then Friday they get out early after a morning of Christmas parties. And THEN they'll have a few weeks off (they go back to school Jan 5.)

As for me.... I finally got all of my grades in and I finished the semester off with a 3.75 GPA. (That's 3 A's and 1 B). I'm happy with it but tried really hard for the 4.0. Maybe next semester!! I'll be taking 15 hours instead of the 12 that I took this semester though, so we'll see. And one of those classes in an online math (calculus) class and I'm just not very good at math. So I'm a little concerned. Oh well, I'll do what I can and try my hardest!! :-)

I think that's about it. Still finishing getting ready for Christmas. I have all of the boys presents and everything is wrapped... just waiting until the 25th! I need to get Matt a few things too, (again, hoping he'll watch the boys tonight for me!) but other than that, I think I'm good. I'm ready for Christmas though!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week and weekend!!!
